Over the past five weeks, Albert Bartlett, the UK’s leading potato producer, has teamed up with FareShare, the country’s largest food redistribution charity, to deliver a staggering 600 tonnes (that’s 25 truckloads!) of surplus fresh potatoes to people in need. This is the LARGEST shipment Albert Bartlett has ever provided FareShare, and it’s set to help create over 1.4 million nutritious meals for individuals and families across the UK.

Hear from Albert Bartlett’s Sales Director John Heginbottom and FareShare’s Head of Fresh Produce Emma Brown about the real-life impact this initiative is having, and how regular supplies of fresh produce can change lives.
